Help !! What (old, possibly 70's) song am I thinking of?

Moonpie2 · 25 Jan 2017 at 10:01

I have a song on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite remember it.

I remember finding it in the past on a youtube nostalgia trip.
Very much in the vein of Nights in White Satin or Whiter Shade of Pale.
Kinda slow Hammond organ music with 'feels'.

I also seem to remember part of the video was a bunch of dudes stood around a fountain... possibly at night.
For all I know, maybe I just saw an alt video for one of the songs I just mentioned, I just can't remember.....

Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

Procol Harum did film the original video for Whiter Shade of Pale at a place called Witley Court, which has a massive fountain in the grounds. The place was burnt down in the 1930's and at the time Procol Harum went there, the fountain wasn't working - it's now been restored.

The video can be found at

Vienna by Ultravox, b/w vid - not sure if there was a fountain though.

Neither of those I'm afraid

I thought I had a flash of inspiration this morning that it was Golden Brown...... but it wasn't !!!

Any other ideas?

Not "Pandora's Box" by Procol Harum (marble staircase plain, etc.), I actually recall that from my youth in the 70's more than Whiter Shade...

Nope and nope

I guess I must just assume that maybe I saw an alt video for a song I already found.
I've been on youtube looking down at the bottom right and clicking on suggestion after suggestion and haven't come across it yet, which I'm sure I should have by now after hours of searching around the similar songs I mentioned.
